Our trip to Sevierville

Our trip was wonderful and our accommodations were OK. We didn’t have soap to wash our hair with there, but everything else was thawed out and we had what we need in the blanket that we had was stinking. It hadn’t been washed for a while. I don’t think I would suggest when you go in there to wash all the blankets. I don’t think they do it on the regular but everything was just OK.

Decent

Property itself was fine. Couldve been a bit cleaner and the upstairs bathroom smelled very mildewy. Only cable tv and dvd players so ig you have kids, id recommend a tablet or something so they can watch shows. Communication with host was very limited. Property supposedly in a locked community. We drove right in the first day without even being checked or id. Driveway is very narrow on a hillside so i dont recommend any big trucks.

Lovely cabin in beautiful location

We wanted to be close enough to the amenities of Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg but away from the noise and traffic. This cabin is the perfect solution. The Shagbark community is quiet and beautiful, and the cabin had everything we needed. Will definitely be happy to stay here again.

Gross & Disappointing

Got to the property after 4 as instructed. Dirty sheets wadded on bed, towels in bathtub, could feel crumbs on the floor. There was even a knife in the drawer with PB&J all over it. Reached out that night and all I got from owner was "sorry it wasn't cleaned." Property is minimally maintained & looks like a lot of DIY. Shower curtain weighed down with chip clips & looked very dirty. Tub surround has a poor patch job on the outside. Faucets "upstairs" were installed backwards and leak all over the counter. Technically this is a studio/loft and has 0 bedrooms as the one "bedroom" has no door and no closets to be considered a bedroom. Zero privacy if you want to be here with more than 2 people. Had to hound the owner to see if we were at least get some compensation for it being dirty. She said we'll get a refund. A week later, had to contact again as no refund received. She finally sent us a little over 100, which we felt was not adequate as not only was it dirty, but we had to wash sheets when we got there with our own detergent and keep our 6 yo daughter up, to have clean beds. Which the dryer has an awful nails on chalkboard sound. When we reached out to VRBO a 2nd time, she was on the other line with them & admitted they didn't have enough time to clean between bookings. So she knew they weren't going to have time and just hoped we wouldn't complain or pursue it. This is no novice property manager, they own like 10 other cabins. Minimum effort for max profit.

1st time in the Smokey's

Secluded cabin in the mountains is exactly what you get with this Mountain Jewel. The interior is full on cabin....complete with lots of wood and rustic charm. This was exactly what we were looking for. Only wish would have been a little bit of a view of the mountain side from the deck.

Anniversary 2024

Last minute decision to go to the Smokey Mountains for our 36th anniversary. Looked on line for several places and lucked up to find Mountain Jewel. This cabin was clean and convenient to everything we wanted to do, Cades Cove, Roaring Fork, Greenbrier and Pigeon Forge. Cathy was very nice and made sure everything was ready for us even though she only had one day notice!. Would definitely book again. The cabin is dated so if you are looking for something newer and fancy, this would not be for you.

Nice getaway

Was a wonderful cabin. Close to Pigeon Forge but still off the beaten path. The only negative was if you are a tall person or obese person, the shower in the cabin is not for you. My husband is tall and he had a terrible time showering. I’m a littler person and it was still tight for me. Overall, nice place.

We absolutely loved this rental. It was warm & cozy.

We had plenty of room for the two of us & the dogs. We had a full equipped kitchen & washer & dryer. With a jacuzzi tub & shower upstairs. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. The living room was cozy & had an electric fireplace. The leaves were just beginning to change when we arrived. It rained & we spent time on the covered porch sitting in our rockers. We couldn't of asked for more. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
